Naruto: The village was on the verge of bankruptcy, and I struck oil.

Mu Feng thought to himself: Actually, I know.

"Oh, Tsunade, this isn't gambling between our villages; it's cooperation and mutual benefit."

Tsunade chuckled: "How can we cooperate and achieve a win-win situation?"

He had drunk with Mu Feng and gambled with him.

Tsunade was no longer stiff as before, and her posture was much more relaxed.

She tugged at her collar to let in some fresh air.

“Since you feel embarrassed about the first point, why don’t we try a different approach?”

"In what way?"

“I don’t want the compensation. You can just take the village’s land as compensation.”

The village's land?!

Tsunade's almond-shaped eyes stood straight up.

Support yourself on the table with both hands.

He bent down and glared angrily at Mu Feng.

He slammed his fist on the table.

"Hmph, Mu Feng, what do you want to do! Our village's land will not be given to outsiders."

The force of the punch doesn't matter.

I feel a little dizzy.

Mu Feng quickly wiped his mouth.

"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand."

"I misspoke."

Actually, I wanted to rent a piece of land in your village.

Tsunade asked in confusion, "What are you renting this land for?"

Mu Feng explained.

"Actually, it's like this. As you know, we've signed an economic and trade treaty, and our village also has some local specialties. So, there will definitely be a lot of economic and trade exchanges between our two villages in the future."

"So I thought it would be better to rent a piece of land to build shops, warehouses, and residential areas for diplomatic personnel in our village. This would facilitate exchanges and trade between the two sides."

Tsunade looked Mu Feng up and down.

"Is that really what you think?"

Mu Feng: "Of course, what I like most is doing business."

It's not impossible to lease land to their village to build shops.

"But you have a history of sneak attacks, so the village probably won't agree."

Other villages have a history of building large-scale gathering points within their own villages.

Tsunade will likely have a hard time getting through this.

Mu Feng is very magnanimous.

"Don't worry, firstly, our stationed personnel are all ordinary people, and secondly, we can hire Konoha ninjas for security. You can rest assured now."

This reassured Tsunade considerably.

Mu Feng saw Tsunade hesitate.

"Of course, as a reciprocal principle, you can also build a commercial area in our village, and I can allocate land to lease to you."

Tsunade refused.

"Oh, no need. Our village doesn't have any local specialties to sell to you."

Mu Feng thought to himself: It's not that I didn't give you a chance, but don't come crying to me when you're broke.

With endless blood resources from sandworms and inexhaustible underground oil, the local specialties of Sunagakure will overwhelm Konoha Village like a tsunami.

The Sand Village will exchange goods with almost zero cost for Konoha Village's real money.

At that time, Konoha will either have to frantically take on missions or sell some food to maintain economic balance.

"How about we use the ten-year right to use a piece of wasteland as a bargaining chip for peace?"

"Tsunade, is that alright?"

Tsunade double-checked.

"You won't send ninjas to be stationed here?"

"Yes, the shopkeepers and warehouse managers will be ordinary people. I'll hire Konoha ninjas for security."

"Which piece of land have you taken a fancy to?"

Chapter 68 Lady Tsunade, something terrible has happened! A rogue ninja is attacking!

Tsunade took out a map of Konoha Village.

Mu Feng pointed to a corner of the Nanhe River on the map.

"Let's use our current campsite."

"I think the location is pretty good."

"It's an excellent location for doing business."

Tsunade looked at Mu Feng with a puzzled expression: "Is this place alright?"

That area is all located in the outer perimeter of Konoha Village.

There are no other houses nearby.

Previously, it was a location on the outskirts where the Uchiha clan was housed.

Mu Feng: "Haha, the buildings in your village center are too densely packed, which is not suitable for us Sand Village to open a shop. We want to open a large supermarket, a discount store. A small place with too many people is not suitable for us."

Tsunade became even more suspicious: "Are you sure you're not up to something? If you are, I won't let you get away with it."

She moved closer.

His eyes stared directly into Mu Feng's eyes.

I really wanted to find out his true thoughts.

Then came that faint body fragrance.

As a ninja, it's best not to make yourself smell too strong.

Even without makeup, Tsunade still has a unique scent.

Mu Feng rubbed his nose.

"If you still don't trust me, I can entrust the construction of the shops and houses to you."

"Now you can all rest assured."

Tsunade: "We need to inspect the goods as well."

"it is good."

Mu Feng's eyes were clear, like a bottomless lake.

Tsunade stared at it for a while, but found no trace of conspiracy or darkness.

Because Mu Feng's schemes were all perfectly legitimate and aboveboard.

Tsunade sat down in her seat.

"Well, that's fine."

"Let me discuss it with my advisors. Please wait a moment."

Mu Feng: "Then I'll wait for your good news."

Mu Feng was with Temari, while Ye Gui was resting in the lounge.

Tsunade then held a meeting with Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Shimura Danzo, who shamelessly returned again.

Tsunade relayed Mu Feng's request to the three of them.

Danzo Shimura objected without considering the consequences.

“I object; I cannot grant his request.”

He wanted to keep the two villages embroiled in war.

Tsunade: "Shimura Danzo, what did you promise to do after you lost? Just do as Mufeng and I discussed."

Danzo Shimura remained defiant.

"Even if I lose, as a ninja I can give up my honor for the sake of the village."

"Enough! This isn't about your personal honor, it's about the safety of the village."

Tsunade loudly refuted Shimura Danzo.

"Judging from the situation from all sides, there are conspiratorial organizations causing trouble in the ninja world. Our Konoha Village should focus its efforts on protecting the village instead of engaging in pointless battles with the Sand Village."

"While we are fighting a fierce battle with Sunagakure, it is probably Iwagakure and Kumogakure who are gloating."

The ambitions of the Hidden Cloud Village are particularly worrying.

Many years ago, ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village invaded the Hyuga mansion and kidnapped Hinata, who was then a child. After Hiashi discovered this, he killed the ninjas from the Land of Lightning and rescued Hinata.

Later, the people of Kumogakure demanded that Konoha hand over the killer's head.

Konoha, under pressure from Kumogakure, agreed to let Hiashi's twin brother, Hyuga Hizashi, sacrifice himself in Hiashi's place.

This is a scar that Konoha Village is unwilling to mention.

Koharu Utatane: "The Hokage is right. There's no point in us continuing to fight the Sand Village. They're like a desert with no resources to plunder."

Mitokado Homura: "We've all had contact with the Sand Ninja. Their personalities are as stubborn as the sand in the desert. They fight without regard for life or death. Even if they want to win, they will sacrifice many of our members."
